Careers at AAI
Our current vacancies are listed below.
Communications Manager
Are you a passionate communicator with an interest in science and immunology?
The Communications team at the American Association of Immunologists are looking for a new Communications Manager to lead on science, press and membership communications. Working with the Communications Director, you will help shape how we communicate with the public the importance of immunology research, the functions of the immune system, and the evidence behind complex immunology-related topics that impact society. Through a combination of web content and media relations, we aim to put AAI on the map as a recognized and trusted source.
This is an exciting time to join AAI as we start work on a new Communications Strategy aimed at deepening engagement with members, attracting new ones, and raising our, and the field of immunology’s, profile in the media and with the public. We’re looking for a strong science writer with experience communicating with a lay audience and a knack for spotting a great story. If you have experience working with journalists, writing press releases and pitching stories, even better.
The ideal person will have a science background (Masters or Ph.D) with in-depth knowledge of immunology. However, demonstratable experience writing engaging and compelling content based on complex scientific research would be accepted in lieu of a degree.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! If you think you meet most but not all the listed qualifications and characteristics, we strongly encourage you to apply. Please send a cover letter and resume to jobs@aai.org.
Pay range: $85,000 – $95,000/yr
